The advertising companies don't deliberately make it annoying. They just make it because they are forced to in order to continue to do what they do
There are quite a few companies that you don't see any sort of notice on because they do not want to store cookies on your computer unless you sign up for an account, then that sort of consent is implicit. Companies want to track you, store data on your PC, and keep it there for long times in exchange for letting you read some content someone posted years ago. The EU legislation requires them to make it explicit when they do this.
Advertising companies are forced to 'make it annoying' because their entire existing is to erode your privacy. The harder it is for you to click a toggle in the 600 plus analytic trackers some websites have (and i've seen some with this many), the more likely you are to just say "Screw this I want my content now" and just click accept.
